shows that american workers are not using up all of the vacation time. they are said to be seen as lazy and losing their job. this is a good sign for the economy. how so, steve. not for those two reasons . we don't have too much vacation or little. we do it just right. europe had work like we did. you want lopping beer vacation you can have a stagnant economy like europe. we raise taxes we'll have longer vacation but fewer jobbings. >> you are right. we don't want to be like the french. and people here in the united states and government union. and i was on vacation and check my blackberry and read a rick unger e-mail while on vacation. >> you are never on vacation. >> you work it anyway. nine out of the 10 are checking their work phones. any time to rejuvenate and come back ragged. >> we need that vacation time to work better. >> when you say economy you are talking about gdp. good or ill it is major transaction. have everyone never talk a day off and work 60 hours a week. steve is protesting that. >> there is it a correlation between vacation time and increased productivity. a 2010 st

. for most artists, it is a vacation and a life that they have committed themselves to. there is this notion that artists continue to do their work because of some kind of the external financial support. if that was taken away, artists would still do their art. it is not like there is a prerequisite for these things to happen or i will not do it. how could that be? it is the relationship that you have committed to. it is the vocation. no matter how difficult it gets, you are going to need to produce your art. whether it is a large scale or very small scale. the need to create is going to happen, and you are going to have to fulfill it because that is your life.

also included in this package of improvement and city project for the connector road a vacation of the northeastern portion of quint street. that is in the diagram, the red area. that area actually operates two areas of properties as they work to plan the relocation of those digesters. this package in the connector road project intends to really maximize that compatibility and facilitate that process that we've heard support for. finally, the purpose of this request is to really iron out some of those final questions and issues that the community has raised that we haven't been able to answer quite yet given the phase of design we're at. there are two pieces of recommendations. the first is to recommend support for cal train to proceed with design of their option one, the berm option for the bridge replacement. that includes allowing them to work with the schedules and coordination with the connector road project to make sure that we're able to minimize that gap enclosure. the second piece of this recommendation is to provide funding for the next phase of connector road design.

european court of justice added on another to give a workers the right to to a vacation to over or give back. >> for instance it used the for two weeks for your christmas holiday and use brain drain gold and the last eight-- you are laid up that means they automatically go into your sickly youth then you could have the vacation do over to make up for those days that you weren't that sec or hurt. john: if you say i have they cold? they have to give you that back? >> if it is dead doctor's note to to say she got the sniffles so she will need another seven days of paid vacation. john: italy first. if you start a business and keep it small, up that 10 workers you have some flexibility but number 11 1/2 to have the self assessment outlying every possible health and safety hazard? >> yes. we're not just talking about heavy machinery but how you deal with specific stress with your age, gender, a doctor, the overwhelming majority of italian workers work with 10 or fewer employees. john: number 16 employee you have to have you representatives that is entitled to paid leave? >> eight hours per mo

[thunder] thanks a lot. i didn't do it. you mean? mm-hmm. he must really care about me, the way he worries. could be. why else would he put my cigarette out? maybe he's not anxious to have you up there. can i help you, mr. glidden? we'll be checking out today. right now, actually. i'm sorry to hear that. is anything wrong? well, yes. it's your grandson. with ball-bouncing and skateboarding at all hours, we feel like we're interrupting his vacation. it's best we check out. i apologize for the inconvenience. i'll refund the balance. thank you. send me the bill. again, i'm sorry. libby, we have to do something with max. we can't have him driving customers away. i know, mother. kids go through phases. i mean, lord knows you did. but not like this. if this continues, you'll have to send him to military school. that is not an alternative. he's had enough upheavals in his life. his grandfather dies. his father takes off like a bird after some dream. he needs love, and to be around us. not m

unemployment. so the minimum guaranteed annual vacation here in europe not including national holidays is 20 days of paid vacation a year not including national holidays weekend additional time off in some countries it is much higher in france it starts at 2k3w5r7b teed days off. this summer t-- guaranteed days. it gave workers the right to a vacation don't over or give back. >> wait a sec. what possibly can that be? >> say you are skiing for two weeks for your christmas holiday and you sprain your ankle and you spend the last 8 days of your vacation laid up with a sprained ankles they go into your sick leave and you get a vacation do over. you have a right of 8 extra days of paid vacation to make up for the days you were ill on vay -- vacation. >> any time you go on vacation and get sick you get a do over. >> if you say i have a cold i had the flu they have to give you that back somewhere else. >> if you have a doctor's note it's not too hard to pay a doctor to give you a doctor's note and said she got the sniffles when she was snorkeling so she needs another 7 days of vacation. >> in italy

these days. as in: use your vacation days... or lose it all. let's talk to jake reid of expedia for some travel tips. good to have you on the show this morning. you look awfully cool. > > [laugh > > thanks for having me, and you are absolutely right - a lot of americans are losing it, and they are not taking their vacation days. we want to help travelers feel comfortable booking that trip and taking advantage of the vacation days they have. i certainly did that. i am down here in miami beach, fla., at the palms hotel and spa, taking a little vacation from the rainy seattle weather that i am getting used to now this winter. > other than where you are right now, what are some other great locations, some last- minute deals? > > we are seeing a lot of travelers on expedia book in three places: doing what i did, which is to come to the beach, get away from the cold weather and escape and relaxe. there is also a big trend of ski vacations, taking advantage of lake tahoe or vail, colorado, and really getting away with the family. and then of course, it's the holidays, so you have to go see gran

process which we're doing now or alternatively go through a street vacation process so they can maintain the building fully inside their property line. we found out from planning that the vacation of public right of way is typically in contradiction to the general plan and therefore they requested us to go through this major encroachment process. the department in its evaluation does not believe this would necessarily be an appropriate permit for either the city or the applicant specifically. this permit will only grant a license to the property owner to maintain this and it would definitely place a cloud on the title, which may impact future sales and/or refinancing of that property. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you. this matter is sort of perplexing to me in a number of ways and i don't know that you are going to necessarily have all the answers. are you here for this matter? is anyone from planning or dbi here? >> i don't believe so. >> i'm just curious to know how this happened. i mean i guess, from what i understand, when the plan was submitted the property line between the p

irresponsible actions of both sides going on vacation. there have been suggestions, notably by warren buffett that congress should not get paid and not have health insurance until they come to an agreement. >> i think there is a lot of negotiating behind the scenes, maria. staffs are meeting almost constantly. but you raise a good point and interesting point. the optics as washington likes to call it, of going on vacation when you have a fiscal cliff looming, if you don't have an agreement are simply awful. boehner has already told the republicans that nobody is going on vacation until this thing is settled. i think the democrats are probably going to say, pelosi and reid will say the same thing for the democrats. i wouldn't be surprised if congress stayed in session maybe all the way until the 21st of december. this is going to be not to put too fine a point on it, a cliff hanger with regard to the fiscal cliff. i think there will be some movement. in other words, they will not go on vacation unless there's some agreement about what a framework is going to be or some way that they are going

working through the pc you saw there and that vacated piece of property. the vacation of that northeastern portion of quint is more recent addition to the connector road project. it actually was added more recently. initially the option one, berm would have included the vacation of the piece of quint street, that is directly at the tracks in order to do the berm but that additional piece up on the northeast portion was added. the reason that was added is actually twofold, one, to facilitate potential staging of both projects concurrently. the berm or bridge replacement project and the connector road project. vacation of that area allows potentially more staging for both of those projects to happen together and minimize that gap in construction time closure. it also does facilitate the poc's master planning process. as i mentioned earlier, working with the poc as one partner in looking at what other funding options are available to reduce that prop k request or how the pc can be involved in this process moving forward. that is something we will plan to work with pc on and come back in the s

the course of these negotiations and forego any plans he has to take a holiday vacation? >> i think congress has a strong role to play here. as we've said all along, while we are getting closer and closer to the end of the year, how we achieve the deal here is not that complicated. we still believe we can make it happen. the president is focused very much on trying to make that happen. >> he actually wanted a deal that worked, something he's the only one that's going to have a pen that can sign that. >> you are the president of the united states. you have that mighty pen. you bailed out the banks. bail out the american people that don't have homes for holidays. >> i think no member of the house or the senate or the president should go on vacation before you have handled this. >> he has a vacation already planned? >> i know he does. >> there's simply no middle ground here at all. >> will the president stay in town through the course of these negotiation? >> meanwhile the president wants to spend $4 million for a vacation at the end of the year in the midst of what is a huge crisis. >> comprom

a million bucks. hawaii where president obama will vacation. don't miss this one. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. >> bill: culture warrior segment tonight. national institutes of health say that many american teenagers do not think marijuana is all that bad. 42% of eighth graders say the occasional use of pot is harmful but the rest, 58% apparently don't think it's harmful. 21% of seniors in high school say occasional use of pot is harmful. just 21%. the rest say it's all right. hey. here now, culture warriors jeanine pirro and gretchen carlson. you know in every school they have stoner clubs. did you know that? no. >> they didn't when i was d.a. >> it's not like they are in the yearbook. in the yearbook they do little innuendos. editors put that on. there is every high school on long island and they meet in the parking lot before school starts these kids. it's like fast times at ridgemont high. >> stoned before they go to school. >> i want to show this full page ad in the "new york times" today. this is why. full page ad "new york times" drug policy alliance far left kook georg

in the news media repeated this white house talking point. >> president obama cutting short his vacation in hawaii, heading back now to washington. that will happen tonight to work on the fiscal cliff deal. >> the looming fiscal cliff is forcing president obama to cut short his christmas vacation. >> president obama is cutting short his christmas vacation. he is leaving hawaii tonight so that he can be back in washington when congress reconvenes tomorrow. >> laura: so we should believe that by leaving his island enclave that the president was making some big sacrifice for the country? i'm thinking washington, crossing the delaware on a bitter christmas night 1776 before going on to defeat the british in two major battles, that's sacrifice. i, for one, never understood how in good conscious any of these politicians would think about leaving town with so much riding on this cliff hanger? shouldn't they get their work done before they leave town for a break? that's what's expected for most working americans but then again washington politicians have rules of their own. people whose salaries

others hospitalized christmas eve. chris pallone has this one. >> reporter: a sleepy vacation community northeast of rochester, new york, is in shock after a gunman lured firefighters to a neighborhood and shot them. investigators in webster, new york, say four firpths responded to reports of a house and car on fire around 5:30 monday morning. two in a fire truck, two others in their own cars. >> it appears that it was a trap, that there was a car and a house that were engulfed in flame. >> one of the men was able to retreat to safety after being s.w.a.t. a s.w.a.t. team in an armored vehicle retrieved the other three. toe tas kaczowka and mike chiapperini were dead. police evacuated at least 30 people from the area and seven homes were damaged or destroyed. the shooter was found shot dead near the scene. police say he killed himself identified as william spengler, a man with a lengthy criminal history and served time for killing his grandmother. throughout the day, townspeople remembered the fallen firefighters as they tried to make sense of the senseless. >> you know, these people, th

christmas vacation short for the fiscal cliff. >>> and the longest high speed train. good morning. i'm richard lui. christmas was anything but merry for residents of the deep south. christmas packed a deadly punch. three residents are victims of the storm that hit four states as far south as texas. >> oh, wow, oh jr, look at that tornado. >> reporter: in mobile, alabama, a christmas surprise no one wished for right in this city center. it left lots of damage in its wa wake, blowing out first and second floor windows at the medical center and the roof at the high school. there are no deaths but tens of thousands are without electricity. it sent customers running for cover. >> he looked out the windows and said there is a tornado coming. i looked out, saw the debris flying around, got everybody and the customers an said, we need to run to the back and everybody huddle down. >> i probably hurt my baby grabbing her running for protection. there was no time. >> reporter: the twister was from a massive storm that stretched across the nation. earlier, a tornado touched down near mcneil, mis

all of them signed his oath. so a deal could be tough. plus i'm now calling for no vacation without legislation. no vacation without legislation. because the holidays are slated to begin in a couple of weeks. which doesn't give enough time to get the job done. so you have one side that ins t insisting on tax increases, and then you have the other side which has pledged no tax increases which assure those deal can occur. after all, even if the president offered heavy-duty spending cuts like he did during the debt ceiling fight, the republicans can't compromise because of their blood oath in norquist. they aren't allowed to and the president's bottom line seems to have hardened. doesn't it seem to you like he thinks that the wealthy and those who own stocks are exactly the same? now as far as the public not knowing what awaits us, we've got a whole new school springing up as represented by my friend doug cass, who writes on real money pro. doug told "the new york times" in a piece that led today's business section that one of the biggest stock market worries, the main from higher cap

't happening. maybe because these guys are ignoreing my tip one, congress needs to stop going on vacation. what are they doing and they are going on vacation. many bolting just as house speaker boehner's plan "b" was collapsing last night and while there is a skeletal crew at capitol there does not seem to be much worse getting done in the capitol today. maybe it is time, time for the super hero to get involveed. ladies, the to scale. yes, citizens, we have a last shot to save the country and if i am not busy enough, there are three full days congress could be working, these guys are still doing nothing as the cliff keeps on nearing. and the markets keep on fretting, if my next guests are right, things could get worst. i am talking market watchers larry and scott, and our own melissa francis. larry, is getting you a little concerned? >>guest: that is right. with washington, politicians are leaving early and their job is not done this is a concern, a concern because it sends a bad message to the american people and the timing could not be worst. this is just ahead of super saturday, the second b

24-hour period, taking into consideration when people are sick and out for vacation, it becomes a large expense to a hotel; we anticipated that if we want to go forward with this, there will be a lot of pushback from building owners and people who will have to bear that cost in order to comply with those laws. >> yes, they build a community within themselves and they could monitor it themselves. a second thing is, the rent is outrageous for what you get. on the private ones, there is no subsidy allowed? how does that work, you know? to reduce the rent to like 30% of income. >> and private buildings there are subsidies that exist. the reality is that, based on the way rent control is in san francisco, when the tenant moves out, the landlord can put the rental at any price they can get, it moves closer to market rate. when people first year about the kind of work that i do and talk about sros, they say it's great that you work with affordable housing. the first thing i say is, is not affordable. it's available housing stock. $700-$900 a month is not affordable housing

, come on we're starting to lose it. vacation is only two weeks away. >> and we need a lot of soda for that vacation. >> stephanie: that was the worst segue ever. let momma handle this. >> i thought i could add something to the show. >> stephanie: you can have it with ham, you can have it with lamb -- >> with a cat -- >> with have a cat out there, tbone. >> stephanie: it is smart, and transforms water into fresh frizzy water in seconds. no more lugging and throwing all of those bottles cans away -- fill it up with cold water, snap it in there, and literally in seconds, you have fresh fizzy soda. and you can choose your level of carbonation. >> wow! are there brand names? >> stephanie: yes, like country time. there's better for you flavors. >> uh-huh. >> stephanie: it is about the size of a small coffee maker. they all start at about $80, and makes your soda about $0.20 a can. check it out, or go to sodastream.com to find stores near you. >> fizzy, wow! >> stephanie: twenty minutes after the hour. you are of no used to me. >> i know. >> it's really weird, but it's

deal. president obama cut his hawaiian vacation short and is due to land in washington tomorrow. but if politicians aren't feeling enough urgency, the american people certainly are. a new gallup poll shows that 50% of americans think a deal is likely. that's down nine points from just a few weeks ago. if we go over the cliff, it will affect all of us. if you're a family that makes $50,000 a year, your taxes will go up by $2,000. if you make $100,000, your taxes will go up by $4600. the combination of tax hikes and deep spending cuts could end up looking a little bit like this, over the cliff in a free fall. whiskey and cigarettes in hand. "outfront" we have the view from both sides of the aisle. democrat from arizona and republican from wisconsin. earlier, i spoke to the arizona congressman and asked him what he would support a scaled down deal that the president pushed for on friday. >> yeah, i would. i think that's realistic. i think we're at a point after, after the implosion by boehner and the party not to be able to come to an agreement with president obama. that we're talk

family are going on an all expense paid vacation. you call it a time out from cancer? >> a time out from cancer because that's exactly what it is. >> beautiful here. >> reporter: a journey to remember ahead on "sunday morning." >> osgood: bradley cooper is an actor with a number of successful films to his credit and to hear some industry observers tell it a possible academy award nomination in his future. er is ree that altschul catches up with him in his own hometown. >> it's a night you'll never forget. >> reporter: "the hangover" made bradley cooper one of hollywood's biggest stars. now his role in the new film "silver linings play book" has critics talking about an oscar. >> you look nice. >> reporter: not that anyone from philly is surprised. >> i just saw your movie. it was great. >> did you like it? >> i loved it. >> oh, good. >> reporter: what does it do for you coming here? >> tranquility. >> reporter: going whom bradley cooper, ahead on "sunday morning." >> osgood: most of us think a family portrait and a still life are two totally different art forms. bill geist will set us st

house speaker house speaker john boehner is also on vacation. before vacation they each made one last pitch. >> we have a tax hike on middle- class americans... >> it would still be ready as far as the eye can see and it would hurt jobs. >> if we go over the fiscal cliff, most americans will see higher taxes and most will feel the sting of harsh budget cuts. >>> holiday vandals hit a church in orange county, what has police launching an investigation . >>> coming up, alex savage would be live with more on a police investigation and it turned into a much bigger situation. >>> police say it happened near a catholic church. was swastikas -- swastikas were found in front of a priest's house. a nay safety scene has been nativity scene has been found in the past. >>> snow in the west could make for a white christmas on the east coast. snow has fallen up to a few inches in other parts of new york state and it is creating headaches for holiday travelers. the region could get a few more inches before christmas day. >>> in the valley two people are recovering after getting caught in an avalanch

a story about trying to get to the planner and the planner was on vacation. is the only way that you can file an appeal is to reach the planner for the project? is there a website, can you go to the department? i don't know because i've never filed an appeal. maybe you could eliminate -- >> appeals for exemptions are solely to the board of supervisors. i was the person on vacation, i take a vacation once a year. >> i'm not criticizing you taking a vacation. [multiple voices] >> there was a notice on my e-mail, a notice on my phone message that says who can be reached in the case of this question. the person obviously didn't bother to follow-up on that. in the case the information she actually figured out is true, it wasn't right for an appeal because there is no c-e-q-a document had been prepared and there was no appeal that could have been filed at that time. >> right. i mean, i guess -- so, i could go to the planning department, file an appeal. there is a process for doing that, go to the website. >> the appeal, e-i-rs -- negative declaration appeals, choose to appeal [speaker not unde
